My story of what its like to be married to an Amway cult follower. I expose the lies that our upline told and what happens at Amway meetings and functions. I leave the explanations of why Amway is a poor business opportunity or the tool scam to other bloggers. This blog mainly exists to curse out my former upline, aka the cult leaders, and to let everyone know what kind of idiots I had to put up with. Feel free to join in or live vicariously!

I Got Screwed Over By Amway!

A club that nobody wants to be a member of is called the “I Got Screwed Over
By Amway Club”.

Looking at it from a distance the business Amway is a bricks and mortar
building and contains within its walls their products that they sell to IBO’s
who do with the products what they will: consume them, sell them, or toss them
in the garbage.

The people who work inside the Amway building are not directly screwing over
ambots. Indirectly yes because that's the nature of this business. When it comes down to push and shove I can say that
aside from a few unpleasant encounters with the useless bastards who work on
the customer service desk I have not had any contact with Amway employees and
none of the people who work within their 4 walls personally screwed me over or
coerced me to buy Amway products or invest in the tool scam.

The company leaves that dirty work to their cult leaders and tries to keep
an arm’s distance away and denies any responsibility of the shameful behavior,
lies and scams their commissioned salespeople do.

At every Amway function someone was always introduced from Amway's head
office so unless this person only came on stage to say a few words and then got
the hell out of there and left the building cause they had better things to do
than attend a Scamway meeting (well fuck don’t we all!), someone from the head
office is present and listening to some pretty outrageous stuff from the cult
leaders and turning a deaf ear to it.

The people who screwed me over were our upline. They used Amway the business
as the vehicle to screw me over. The upline enticed us to join up with Amway
with their false promises and lies. Almost everyone in our upline from our
sponsor up to the Diamonds promised we’d easily be making $100,000 a year but
the amounts could run hundreds of thousands more than that a year depending on
which upline asshole was talking and how long he’d been talking for cause the compensation
kept getting higher and higher the longer the bastard droned on. A million! Hell Yes! A gazillion! You bet!
Easily gazillions of dollars in residual income rolling in every year while you
walk the beaches of the world. Hell easily a million rolling in while you’re
taking a shit!

Amway is responsible for what their commissioned salespeople say at Amway
meetings no matter how hard they try to deny responsibility. Generally speaking
most employers are responsible for what their employees do. Some would argue
that IBO’s are not actually employees because they’re under the false
impression that they are business owners and own their business. These people are still acting as agents for Amway selling their overpriced
shitty products signing up new cult followers and making representations on
Amway's behalf and Amway is responsible for their actions.

When we became members of the “I got screwed over by Amway club” we really
got screwed over by our Amway upline and their brainwashing to spend money on
buying Amway products, invest in the tool scam, and spend hundreds of dollars
on Amway functions and all the travel related costs and admission.

The only way people get rich in Amway is by screwing over the people below
them and bringing new recruits into the Amway scam that is why everyone in the
downline can claim to belong to the “I got screwed over by Amway club”.

Getting screwed over by Amway Independent Business Owners all under the
guise of doing Amway business its the same thing as getting screwed over by
Amway.

I know I’m only one of millions of people who became members of the “I got
screwed over by Amway club”.

Membership into the “I got screwed over by Amway club” is generally reserved
for people who were hoping to make a better life for themselves and their
families. The hardest hit members of this club are usually the people who can
least afford to lose money: new immigrants, people on social assistance, people
already swimming in debt, etc.

Without a doubt I know the people who screwed us over the most were our
sponsor, our Platinum, and the others in our upline. I still blame those
fucking assholes for our misery and I doubt that will ever completely go away
but I see the bigger picture and know that we were really screwed over by Amway
on behalf of their agents.

Instead of investing in the Amway scam we should have taken those thousands
of dollars and found a better club to become members of like membership at a golf
club. Works for me!

And yup once again lets send out another big old FUCK YOU to all those Amway
assholes out there!

There is nothing about Amway that doesn't in some way screw someone over. The IBO's get screwed into wasting thousands of dollars chasing a dream they will never fulfill.They also screw over everyone who buys this stuff. What is comical is the prices they come up with. Where do they get their ideas for pricing? Are they that confident they can con people into paying such high prices for their products that no one outside of Amway has ever heard of? $355.00 for skin cream? Who the hell can afford that? Certainly not a regular IBO. I used to think Le Mer (which people have heard of, and use) was overpriced at $150.00. Le Mer also has a place you can go and try the stuff out, and maybe get some samples before you buy.The "energy gum" which is $18.00 for 5 packs of gum? Do they just make this stuff up?Now, I am sure someone is going to say, Oh, but you can RETURN these products. Wow, amazing, like no other companies do that. However, if you expect someone to shell out almost 400 bucks for face cream, you sure as hell better offer a refund because they can't try the stuff on before they buy it!Who does Amway NOT rip off. Everyone involved gets ripped off.

Yup you got it. I got better things I can spend $400 on than face cream I can pick up at the store for $10. But Amway has to jack up the prices so everyone upline can make commission and the owners can make a hefty profit. Gotta jack up those prices so ambots can run all over the Internet bragging about how much money Amway makes in sales. When you're selling overpriced shit to an exclusive buyers club it probably don't take long to meet those sales numbers.

I looked at Amway's website and the startup sign up is 62.00 without product and 84.00 for a product kit. They seem to just let the computer pick any upline radmonly. Probably can lose alot less $ by not having a shitty sponsor. Can sign up on your own http://www.amway.com/start-a-business/low-cost-startup

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!

If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.

About Me

I'm married to a former Ambot - one of those annoying commissioned Amway salespeople. Fortunately he saw the light of the horrible cult he was part of and ended his association. I'm here to report on the crap he took and I had to put up with. Hoping I might be able to help some poor souls who find themselves in the same situation I was - married to an ambot.
